Proposed Legislation

End of Life Choices New York has initiated several bills that would improve end of life care, as described here. We are hopeful that they will be enacted in the coming years.

Medical Aid in Dying Act

The Medical Aid in Dying Act would allow a terminally ill, mentally competent adult to obtain from a doctor a life ending medication which the patient must self-administer, if he or she chooses to do so, in order to have a peaceful death. LEARN MORE

Unwanted Medical Treatment

This bill would prohibit health care providers from seeking reimbursement for unwanted treatment and would clarify that patients have a right to seek damages if such treatment is provided. LEARN MORE
